It has been a brutal postseason for catchers, with passed balls and wild pitches and pitches missed altogether because of misinterpreted signs and crossed-up signals. "You know why that is, right?" an evaluator asked. "It's all about the cheating."
It's all about the cheating, the paranoia about the cheating, the paranoia about the paranoia, the spying and the counter-spying.
Major League Baseball would love for this postseason to be about the Astros trying to win back-to-back titles, the upstart Brewers, the Dodgers trying to finally push across the championship finish line and Mookie Betts and J.
